Cafe La Parroquia

Jesus 11 | San Miguel de Allende | Mexico | Teléfono: (415) 152-3161 ~ map
In the evening, Cafe de la Parroquia renames itself the Brasserie and is operated by the half-French daughter of the owners. At a little more than the equivalent of ten dollars US, the set meal is an absolute bargain. There is usually a choice of a chicken or pasta main dish, sometimes salmon and the price also includes a nicely prepared salad, a big selection of calorie-filled desserts, a glass of (nondescript) wine or a beer and a coffee. The rolls and salsas are delicious and the service charming and friendly. There are tables in the courtyard and indoors too, where the walls are covered in old French posters.

El Pegaso

This popular San Miguel restaurant is very easy to find, just two blocks from the Jardín at the corner of Correo and Corregidora. Just look for the yellow wall with the bright red door. El Pegaso is a popular meeting place for expats in San Miguel, especially for breakfast or morning coffee and pastry.

The Gourmet Food Court at Plaza Primavera:
For a quick, delicious and economical option close to Casa Magdalena, we suggest a quick car ride to the second roundabout on the way to town to Plaza Primavera, where a local chef has a great breakfast place with delicious Mexican breakfasts “Cafe de la Manana”. For lunch there is also an option of a top-notch Uruguayan Steak House, a Veracruz style seafood restaurant with the best shrimp cocktails in Central Mexico “La Jarochita” or for a great Spanish tapa, D’Joan has everything typically Spanish your heart and mouth could desire. We especially like to go to D’Joan for his vaccum packed ready to eat meals. They are top quality, local made, paellas, fabadas, etc that are easy to keep on hand for when you decide to enjoy the house and pool and not go out all day long. He also sells an assortment of cold-cuts, cheeses and baked breads… more of a deli!

Hacienda Landetta
A 300-year-old stone colonial hacienda, located in the hacienda’s former stable is the restaurant. With outside dining in good weather, it’s a gorgeous and almost impossibly romantic spot.

Harry’s
Hidalgo No. 12 | Col. Centro | San Miguel de Allende | Reserve: (415) 152 26 45
Harry’s New Orleans Café & Oyster Bar, San Miguel de Allende, is one of the most visited establishments at this colorful place due to its singular bar and excellent atmosphere that invites residents and tourists to be transported to New Orleans in a suck of the famous Hurricane (tipical beberage) or in a mouthful of the unique Duck Prats (breast and leg with raspberry wine sauce and fried matchstick vegetables).

Hecho en Mexico
Ancha de San Antonio No. 8 | San Miguel De Allende, MX | 154-6383
“Best Brownie on Earth!”, best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some Mexican caramel “cajeta” drizzled on top. Warm, gooey, perfectly prepared every time. I love this brownie.

Our cuisine is seasonal and ingredient driven, takes advantage of local artisanal products and relies heavily on both old-world techniques and cutting-edge technology. Our menu draws inspiration from Mexico’s rich culinary tradition, embraces indigenous flavors and ingredients then presents them in a new context, bridging the gap between tradition and innovation. We have built some wonderful working relationships with many local producers and artisans and continue to search for new sources.

Ole Ole
Loreto 66 (very near the artisans market) | (415) 192-0896
Open 1:00pm – 9:00pm Daily
Ole Ole is one of my favorite places to take out-of-town friends — if only to watch their faces when they walk into this homage to the “Fiesta Brava,” the traditional world of bullfighting. The owner is a true bullfight aficionado, a lover of the sport, the art, the dance that is the Fiesta Brava.
